The B&B industry NEEDS figures like these – Average Daily Rate (ADR), occupancy, revenue, etc. Every mature industry collects their own figures, and the B&B industry (in the past) has only collected comprehensive data like this EVERY TWO YEARS! We need to get with it and report our performance at least annually. The hotel industry collects data monthly. Let's do it at least annually!
You can find out how you're doing compared to the industry averages. The resulting report will allow you to compare your own performance against others around the nation and in your state. Financial and other institutions need good, accurate and reliable data like this to make judgments about our industry. The better the data, the less of a risk we appear to be. Refer to first bullet - all participants receive a FREE copy of the study!
Jay Karen, PAII's CEO, needs something to talk about for the remainder of 2010! He's on the road speaking at dozens of local, state and regional meetings of innkeepers, and he uses this data to make observations and suggestions about the B&B industry that help innkeepers improve their operations.
